Most Disappointing Book Endings

I just read a book that had an amazing plot and great characters but the ending was so rushed and poorly written that it ruined the entire book for me. I m curious to know if anyone else has read a book with a great plot but a terrible ending.

The book that has the most disappointing ending in terms of how poorly it's written is "The Death of the Novel" by E.M. Forster. The book is about the decline of the novel as a literary form, and the ending is just a series of depressing essays about how the novel is dying. There's no real resolution or anything, and it's just a downer of an ending.

There are a lot of different books that have very disappointing endings, but one book in particular that is known for having a poorly written ending is "The Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger. The book is about a teenager named Holden Caulfield who is struggling to deal with the death of his brother and the phoniness of the world around him. Holden is eventually committed to a mental institution, and the book ends with him saying goodbye to his family and leaving to go live with his aunt in California.

While many people believe that the ending of the book is a fitting conclusion to Holden's story, others find it to be very abrupt and poorly written. There are a lot of loose ends that are never resolved, and many readers feel like they are left hanging. It is definitely one of the most disappointing endings to a book, especially considering how well the rest of the story is written.
